waiting...

on most days of the week my desk has some of these little pretties sitting on it..randomly lined up, sanded, cleaned of oil left by finger tips and waiting to be set on ear posts. Aren't they pretty just like this? I love the little shapes the light makes inside each of them...

lolly cube forest..

i love every process in making my lolly cube studs..this part however is my absolute favourite stage..to me they look like tiny trees huddled together...

The lolly cubes are now packed safely in the car ready for the Boutique Markets tomorrow - held at Portside Wharf in Hamilton. 8am - 1pm come and say hello :)

If you're after colour than these juicy orange drops and orange burst lolly cubes are just for you.
The above shot was taken yesterday after a firing of lovely red and orange glass.

lolly cubes

I've always loved work in progress and I often find inspiration for new work at certain stages of creating. The lolly cubes were inspired by studs I had lined up and ready to fire..I loved the look of them as they were so did some research and experimenting with tack fusing with the lolly cube range as a result. They are now my favourite to make. I can't help loving them at all stages, the glass before firing, the smoothness of them after firing, the reflection on the top of each one and how when the glue is setting they look like they belong in a little forest casting their individual shadows.
